Patent number: 9482904Abstract: A technique for attaining both improvement of edge rectilinearity of an alignment film and reduction of unevenness is provided. A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate on which a first alignment film is formed, a second substrate on which a second alignment film is formed, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first and second substrates. A material forming a frame arranged to surround the first alignment film inside a seal member with which the first and second substrates are bonded to each other is a highly water repellent organic material having a low solubility in an application liquid for forming the first alignment film.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2015Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Japan Display Inc.Inventors: Daisuke Miyazaki, Noboru Kunimatsu, Yojiro Shimada, Yoshinori Yamamoto, Toshiyuki Higano, Ryoichi Tabuchi

Publication number: 20100201249Abstract: A plasma display panel in which projections are formed in grooves between partitions and phosphor layers are provided on the projections so as to increase the area where phosphor adheres and thereby to increase the luminance. A couple of substrates are opposed to each other to form a discharge space. Band-like partitions partitioning the discharge space are arranged on the back or front substrate. Wall-like projections lower than the partitions and high enough to increase the area where phosphor layers are formed are provided in the region where the discharge space is formed in the long grooves between the partitions or around the discharge space. Phosphor layers are formed in the grooves between the partitions including the wall-like projections. A method for producing such a plasma display panel is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2010Publication date: August 12, 2010Applicant: HITACHI LTD.Inventors: Osamu Toyoda, Akira Tokai, Kazunori Inoue, Fumihiro Namiki, Saburou Morita, Yojiro Shimada, Hitoshi Hirakawa, Takashi Katayama

Patent number: 6714175Abstract: A plasma display panel with high accuracy of addressing is provided by suppressing spread of address discharge in the column direction. The plasma display panel includes first main electrodes and second main electrodes for row selection and address electrodes for column selection. A discharge space is continuous over the full length of the screen in each column. The address electrode is patterned in such a way that each first area opposed to the second main electrode is smaller than each second area opposed to the metal film of the first main electrode, in corresponding third areas between partitions of each column of the display panel.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2000Date of Patent: March 30, 2004Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Yojiro Shimada, Kenji Yoshida, Seiki Kurogi

Patent number: 6713959Abstract: A plasma display panel and method of producing same, in which projections are formed in grooves between partitions and phosphor layers are provided on the projections so as to increase the area where phosphor adheres and thereby to increase the luminance. A pair of substrates, opposed to each other, form a discharge space. Band-like partitions partitioning the discharge space are arranged on one of the back and front substrates. Wall-like projections, lower than the partitions but high enough to increase the area where phosphor layers are formed, are provided in the region where the discharge space is formed in the long grooves between the partitions or around the discharge space. Phosphor layers are formed in the grooves between the partitions including the wall-like projections.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2001Date of Patent: March 30, 2004Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Osamu Toyoda, Akira Tokai, Kazunori Inoue, Fumihiro Namiki, Saburou Morita, Yojiro Shimada, Hitoshi Hirakawa, Takashi Katayama
